Description Lukas Ocilka 2008-02-06 16:07:42 UTC

In some cases, Installation/Update can be broken by pkg bindings / callbacks that open a Progress window: "Loading the Package Manager". After then, callback the progress window is not closed :(

It's impossible/not easy to continue with the installation in some cases.

How to reproduce:
Start network installation (or just network must be configured)
Go to the Timezone dialog
Click on [Change] button
Select "NTP" to be used
Click [Accept]

Then "Loading the Package Manager" Progress opens up and breaks the workflow. One more UI::CloseDialog would help.

Logs will follow...

The very same behavior can be found in Update too :(((
Installation/Update workflow wizard shows another dialog than the actual one.

(Accept in the 'Change Date / NTP' dialog)

Confirmed: this appears in Alpha2 when trying to update a system.

"Loading the Package Manager..." blocks the update proposal screen. A workaround exists: click [Accept] ... but you can't see the result of the proposal :(

I'll add this to

You cannot install/update at all, if you have to change packages.
So I think, this is a blocker

Comment 6 Ladislav Slezák 2008-02-19 07:10:37 UTC

Fixed in yast2-packager-2.16.20 - properly store the flag for closing the dialog
